I managed to get Buildbot to pass a number of build properties to the
fuzz and randpkt build steps, e.g.

  BUILDBOT_BUILDERNAME=Clang-Code-Analysis
  BUILDBOT_BUILDNUMBER=1657
  BUILDBOT_GOT_REVISION=0f3f4eb79ad8cb6954af399ad33b30883ecadf22
  BUILDBOT_REPOSITORY=http://code.wireshark.org/git/wireshark
  BUILDBOT_SLAVENAME=clang-code-analysis
  BUILDBOT_URL=http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/

I also updated fuzz-test.sh and randpkt-test.sh in /trunk to prepend
host, input file, and BUILDBOT_* environment information to the error
report.

Properties exist for every element in build URLs except for the step
name so constructing those will take more work.
